What are Combat Boots?
A combat boot is a boot worn by members of the military as part of an armed service uniform. Combat boots are not exactly a new invention. Roman soldiers wore hobnailed boots during the Roman Empire. These early combat boots provided some protection from the elements and ability to navigate over rough terrain. They were quite heavy, however, and often described as uncomfortable. Combat boots in modern military usage are often rumored to be uncomfortable. While this may have been true of combat boots made 30-40 years ago, today’s combat boots are made with superior fabrics that can actually be easy on the feet. Lighter fabrics like gore-tex can provide waterproof boots that keep the feet’s temperature at an even level.
